About this site
This small islet off Madeira offers dramatic underwater cliffs and caves teeming with marine life. Strong currents attract large schools of pelagics, while the volcanic rock formations create stunning swim-throughs. Expect encounters with barracuda, groupers, and occasional rays. Depth ranges from 10 to 30 meters, with excellent visibility in the clear blue Atlantic waters. Advanced divers will appreciate the dynamic conditions and rich biodiversity. The site is accessible by boat, with the best conditions in summer.
